Deborah Jin used atoms of this element to create the first true fermionic condensate. Its citrate is used to control kidney stones, and the main electrolyte imbalance in people with kidney failure is an overabundance of this element. Its permanganate is a common oxidizing agent, and its beta-decay into argon makes it useful in radiometric dating. I
Deborah Jin used atoms of this element to create the first true fermionic condensate. Its citrate is used to control kidney stones, and the main electrolyte imbalance in people with kidney failure is an overabundance of this element. Its permanganate is a common oxidizing agent, and its beta-decay into argon makes it useful in radiometric dating. It's the primary ion found inside cells, and it's exchanged with sodium across neuron membranes. Its nitrate is found in fertilizers and saltpeter. For 10 points, name this element found heavily in bananas, with atomic number 19 and symbol K
